VX-600VOPERATING MANUAL 1

WARNING! FCC RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS

FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements for Occupational Use Only:

This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF exposure

limits for Occupational Use/Controlled exposure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Stan-

dards and Guidelines:

rFCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.

rFCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (1997) Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines

for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

rANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-

quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

rANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Elec-

tromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave.

¦This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled exposure environ-

ment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio op-

erator must have the knowledge to control his or her RF exposure conditions.

¦When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away

from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from your head and body.

¦The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-

Talk configurations.

DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more

than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the

radio to transmit by pressing the P-T-T button.

¦SAR compliance for body-worn use was only demonstrated for the specific belt-clip Part Number

(#BA0102700112KA). Other body-worn accessories or configurations may NOT comply with the FCC

RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.

¦Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Battery Pack Installation and Removal

rTo install the battery, hold the transceiver with

your left hand, so your palm is over the speaker

and your thumb is on the top of the belt clip. Care-

fully mate the battery’s four insertion slots with

their corresponding alignment tabs on the trans-

ceiver case, while tilting the Belt Clip outward.

Proper alignment occurs with the battery pack

offset about 1/2 inch from the top edge of the

battery compartment.

rGuide the pack on to the tabs with a slight inward

pressure, then slide the battery pack upward, un-

til it locks in place with a “Click.”

rTo remove the battery, turn the radio off and re-

move any protective case. Slide the Battery

Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio toward

the front panel while sliding the battery down

about 1/2 inch. Then lift the battery out from the

radio while unfolding the Belt Clip.

Donot attempt to open anyoftherecharge-

able Lithium-Ion packs, as they could ex-

plode if accidentally short-circuited.

Low Battery Indication

As the battery discharges during use, the voltage

gradually becomes lower. When the battery voltage

reaches 6.0 volts, it is time to substitute a freshly

charged battery and recharge the depleted pack. The

LED indicator on the top of the radio will blink red

when the battery voltage is low (6 Volts or lower).

Caution

Danger of explosion if battery is replaced with

an incorrect battery. Replace only with the same

or equivalent type.

Tilt the Belt Clip

Insert the Battery Pack

VX-600VOPERATING MANUAL

OPERATION

Preliminary Steps

rInstall a charged battery

pack onto the transceiver,

as described previously.

rScrew the supplied an-

tenna onto the Antenna

jack. Never attempt to

operate this transceiver

without an antenna con-

nected.

rIf you have a Speaker/

Microphone, we recommend that it not be con-

nected until you are familiar with the basic op-

eration of the VX-600.

Quick Start

rTurn the top panel’s

VOL/PWR knob

clockwise to turn on

the radio on.

rTurn the top panel’s

CH selector knob to

choose the desired op-

erating channel. If you

want to select an oper-

ating channel from a

different Memory

Channel Group, press the Soft key (assigned to

the Memory Group Up or Down function) to se-

lect the Memory Channel Group you want before

selecting the operating channel.

Note: Some models are programmed so that the

operating channels are selected by the Soft key

and the memory channel group is selected by the

CH selector knob. For further details, contact your

VERTEX STANDARD dealer.

VX-600VOPERATING MANUAL 5

rRotate the VOL/PWR

knob to set the volume

level. If no signal is

present, press and hold

in the MONITOR but-

ton (under the PTT

switch) more than 2

seconds; background

noise will now be

heard, and you may

use this to set the

VOL/PWR knob for

the desired audio level.

Press and hold in the

MONITOR button more than 2 seconds (or press

the MONITOR button twice) to quiet the noise

and resume normal (quiet) monitoring.

rTo transmit, press and

hold in the PTT

switch. Speak into the

microphone area of the

front panel grille

(above the [D]key) in

a normal voice level.

To return to the Receive mode, release the PTT

switch.

OPERATION

rPress the Soft key (if assigned to the Scan func-

tion) or switch the TOGGLE Switch to the as-

signed “Scan” position (when so programmed by

your dealer) to start the scanner. The scanner rap-

idly steps through each of the dealer-programmed

channels, looking for incoming calls.

rPress the TOP SEL

key (on the top panel)

or SIDE SEL key (the

top button on the left

side) to activate one of

the preprogrammed

functions which may

have been enabled at

the time of program-

ming by the dealer.

Similarly, when using

the 16-key version, the

[A], [B], [C], and [D]

function keys may ac-

tivate one of these features, if programmed by

the dealer. See the next section for details regard-

ing the available features.

VX-600VOPERATING MANUAL

OPERATION

rSwitch the top panel’s

TOGGLE switch to

the [A], [B], or [Cen-

ter] position to activate

one of the pre-pro-

grammed functions

which may have been

enabled at the time of programming by the dealer.

When this switch is in the [A(left)], [B(right)],

or [Center] position, the feature programmed (by

your dealer) to that switch position will be acti-

vated. See the next section for details regarding

the available features.

rPress the DTMF keys on the telephone keypad

while pressing the PTT switch to send DTMF

tones (16-key version only).

rIf a Speaker/Microphone is available, remove the

plastic cap and its two mounting screws from the

right side of the transceiver, then align the con-

nector of the Speaker/Microphone on the trans-

ceiver body; secure the connector pin using the

screws supplied with the Speaker/Microphone.

Hold the speaker grille up next to your ear while

receiving. To transmit, press the PTT switch on

the Speaker/Microphone, just as you would on

the main transceiver’s body, and speak into the

microphone on a normal voice level.

Note: Save the original plastic cap and its

mounting screws. They should be reinstalled

when not using the Speaker/Microphone.

VX-600VOPERATING MANUAL 7

ADVANCED OPERATION

Soft Key and TOGGLE Switch Functions

The VX-600 includes the [TOP SEL], [SIDE SEL],

[MONITOR], and [LAMP]keys, and the TOGGLE

switch, while the 16-key version additionally pro-

vides [A], [B], [C], [D]function keys. The Soft key

and TOGGLE switch functions can be customized,

via programming by your VERTEX STANDARD

dealer, to meet your communications/network re-

quirements. Some features may require the purchase

and installation of optional internal accessories. The

possible Soft key and TOGGLE switch program-

ming features are illustrated at the right, and their

functions are explained on page 9. For further de-

tails, contact your VERTEX STANDARD dealer.

For future reference, check the box next to each func-

tion that has been assigned to the Soft key and

TOGGLE switch on your particular radio, and keep

it handy.
